The Dimitrievskaya Church in the village of Nikitovka was built in 1766 at the initiative of Prince N.Yu. Trubetskoy. The church had chapels dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God and St. Mitrophan of Voronezh.

In the same year of 1766, Nikita Yurievich Trubetskoy, who held the position of president of the military college of the Russian Empire, acquired land by the Plotina River, where a small fort was located. The prince relocated his serfs here and ordered the construction of a stone church in honor of his heavenly patron, St. Dimitri of Rostov. Chapels were consecrated in honor of Mitrophan and the Kazan Icon. According to data from 1890, the church owned two houses: one housed a charitable institution, while the other was rented out.

For over a hundred years, the church remained the main spiritual center of the village and its surroundings. In the 1930s, the refectory part of the church was almost completely destroyed, the bell was broken, the cross was removed from the dome, and the iconostasis, decorated with porcelain, was destroyed. During the German occupation, the church building was used as a stable.

Only in 1950 did local authorities allow the resumption of services. In the 2000s, restoration work was carried out in the church.

Today, the Nikitovka Church of St. Dimitri of Rostov is a monument of architecture.
